In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Lyrics From the Past

At one time, I played in some bands, which had their pitfalls and politics. Nothing ever panned out. The most likely to succeed was invited to play at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin two weeks after the band broke up.

That was a long time ago. Two band members are now dead and, from what I've heard, the other surviving member, besides me, is not far from his demise.

Anyway, I've written a few songs over time and the lyrics will resurface in my thoughts. These are some from a song I never gave a title:

When I was a young boy and the world was new to me.The future was a day or two; at the most a week.Then I started growing and looking for my dreamsBut like the sun on a cloudy day, there was nothing for me to see. And I found it's true, that no matter what I doRain will wash away granite, and the sky won't always be blue.There are some things I can do, to make life better for me and youWell, these things I have to do, though other's may not want me to.Manhood came like a summer rain; it was time to leave my home.So, I packed up my bags and moved out in the world; unsure and all alone.I found the answers to some of my questions, but I never could find my dreams.And I found that age doesn't always bring wisdom and the blind can sometimes see.

And I found it's true, that no matter what I doRain will wash away granite, and the sky won't always be blue.There are some things I can do, to make life better for me and youWell, these things I have to do, though other's may not want me to.

I love the feel of cool autumn evenings; with the wood smoke in the air.

It's time like that I know I'm blessed with the love we sometimes share.

I miss my father's gentle wisdom and ever patient love.

He's gone now, but I know somehow, he's with the Lord up above.

And I found it's true, that no matter what I doRain will wash away granite, and the sky won't always be blue.There are some things I can do, to make life better for me and youWell, these things I have to do, though other's may not want me to.

I played keyboards and acoustic guitar. At one time, I could sight read music, but that was back when I was in grade school. I only composed the songs and wrote down the lyrics during my short years in bands. Learning to write music wasn't important at the time and I lost the urge years ago.

Important Legal Stuff

I read that it's best to tell all concerned that I write my material. With that in mind, if you steal it, bad things may happen. For those that like it more legal, this is the notice of my rights of all words I've written. While my legal name isn't printed, it's recorded by my registering for this blog and the legalities of my rights are beyond question.

Another thing. I'm not an expert on anything. So, if I suggest for you to "soak your head", it's only a figure of speech, even if I wish you would.

I'm sure there are all types of other legal things I need to write, but a good attorney could determine my inability to make rational decisions during cross examination. They'd have one helluva day, though and it would cost them a lot of money.
